Sutton In Ashfield Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres
Chesterfield leads with 54.5% pass rates, helped by Derbyshire's more straightforward road layout compared to Ashfield's 51.2% amid Nottinghamshire's challenging former mining area roads with their unusual junction layouts. The 14,751 tests between 2024 and 2025 were concentrated mainly at Ashfield, while Watnall saw limited volume with just 636 tests. Gender splits remain close - women achieved 52.8% at Chesterfield versus men's 55.8%, with similar parity at Ashfield. Automatic pass rates reached 43.8% at Chesterfield, staying consistent around 43% at Ashfield too, suggesting the rolling Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire terrain with its frequent hill starts makes smooth manual gear control particularly valuable for test success.
